    Good thing we got all these draft picks. They can use em to fill the holes they created.?

     

    so you don't think that was the plan?

     

    I understand it's hard to let go and let develop for some. especially this soon in their tenure but hopefully when it's said and done in a season or two, the rewards will be reaped and patience can and will pay off?

     

    I'm a tired old bills fan too, but I realize this is a rebuild and I near about gave up total hope but this QB change has me for the moment pulled back in to that ray of hope.

    I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Odds are, that after there is a couple of games worth of tape, the same fans clamoring for Peterman, will be calling for his head.

     

    Don't suck then. I mean fans have a right to criticize. I understand the crusading, that is flat out ridiculous. say your piece and move on. I'm guilty of getting in on it but my thing was enough is enough. it's why crusading is looked down on and for good reason.

     

    it was both sides though, intense discussion. which is cool as long as being objective doesn't get personal with the insults. I think the thing I hate/ed most was the CoT bull ****.

     

    taylor had his chance. he clearly does not fit the offense and most everyone knew or thought he would be gone anyway.

     

    I'm looking forward to see what they have in peterman. I was not in favor of him starting this season but I had seen enough of tyrod taylor. 5-4 and a chance to win one on the road with your rookie first start, I think he'll rise to the occasion. not film, not a few plays, just a gut feeling. I'm sure, or at least hope McD went to some players to get some insight on his decision before he set it in stone?

     

    I pulled for taylor, I'm pulling for the kid. could be a spark to the team they needed?

    You have to figure:

     

    Adequate QB play wins you the bolts, colts and phish at home. Draft best QB with 1st rd 1 pick they hold

     

    Add KC or phish on the road as wins . Draft a QB somewhere in 1st two rounds.

     

    Make the play offs. Use the first 6 picks to build around him and either get a vet in FA or a late rounder to back him up. 

     

    this seems like a very plausible plan.

    hehe - me too - no problem!!! - and I can't remember what I said the first time so there's also that!

     

    I know I _wanted_ Peterman to start early, and even had my own poll about how good Peterman would have to play week 1 in the event of TT's concussion not clearing in time.

     

    actually I just looked myself. went through the small number votes. did not see my name. then the 56 vote list, did not see my name? my eyes deceiving me?

    Man John, you switch up really quick.  You have spent years defending TT and now you’re already on the NP bandwagon? :)

     

    and McCoy is still going to see 8 man fronts until Np proves otherwise.  Sadly, the best thing TT did as a passer was traded away for a low 2nd rounder and an injured CB.  But blindly trust the process!

     

     

    you'll get over the watkins trade one day, then again maybe you wont.

     

     

    I have.

    All the multiple posts are like it or not or TT should play. Im asking what you need to see frm Nathan to like us not taking a first rounder. Hope that explains it better for you.

     

    sorry if I stepped on your toes there.

     

    pretty simple really, win football games. thing is, unless the defense picks up it wont really matter.

     

    my gut tells me the offense will perform much better with the kid under center. maybe if the offense can sustain drives, score points all the while giving the defense the rest it needs it could very well turn things around. I am anxious to see how it unfolds sunday for sure.

    What was it the JETS said?  They talked the talk and walked the walk.

     

    FWIF I really would like to keep Shady a bit longer

     

    they do need to upgrade the back up position. I'm good either way with keeping. him or not. I just know he needs to step up and not worry about decisions he may not like or approve. his job is to carry the ball. not saying taylor isn't a likable guy but he handled it much better and in a professional manner. maybe he should take notes.

     

    as for your username, I did not correlate it with 25 but rather thought you were, well, a shady bills fan...hehe

    Why not?

     

    It was a veteran team that I wanted to see go for it this year but they've been systematically weakened so I am OK with seeing Lil' Nate Peet play this Sunday. 

     

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Tyrod back in later in the season either.   McD is nothing if not unpredictable wrt personnel.  

     

    Will you be able to handle it if they release Shady in the offseason?  I could see him and Tyrod re-uniting with Roman in Baltimore.

     

     

    I'd be fine with releasing shady. it's not like he's irreplaceable. in fact, I can see them letting him go.

    Food for thought...

    The argument that Taylor’s one game was so bad that he has to be benched is silly. Joe Flacco went 8-of-18 for 28 yards with two picks this year and nobody ever questioned whether he should be benched for a second.

    8:27 AM - 15 Nov 2017

     

     

    so this cat was/is basing the benching off one game?

     

    some need to take the blinders off and watch some games

    Yeah, he is likely to make a couple really good throws like that. He's got a lot of talent. My worry is he makes just as many poor ones as good ones which come back the other way... OR... that the Chargers rush is good and their DBs just jump out and slant routes knowing he is not going to be able to have time to go through progressions. He should make some very nice throws though.

     

    better to make the throws and even the poor ones instead of either not throwing and taking the sack or worrying about the int.

    Which are all valid.

     

    Those excuses, if necessary, will also be the arguments against McD's decision making.  Why start a rookie QB with few reps and no experience when you're 5-4 and still looking at a chance for post season play. 

     

    why not? obviously the starter wasn't getting the job done. would it of been better to have kept taylor in there and lose the next three?

     

    as it is now, they still could but I think everyone for the most part has seen enough of taylor, including the coach.
